One of the greatest contributions of the Danish anatomist Thomas Bartholin to human anatomy is undoubtedly his discovery and naming of the lymphatic vessels in the 17^th century. In this talk I will introduce you to this ground-breaking discovery with perspectives from my current research. I will also touch upon quandaries regarding subject anonymity and vulnerability that I find myself at odds with whilst translating and developing these historical texts for improved dissemination and accessibility
